The United States still does not know […]

Blackmon The United States tumbled out of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup Wednesday night in Atlanta, losing 2-1 to an upstart Jamaica side that had been playing together for nearly two months dating back to a late May camp to help prepare the side for the Copa América.

Halloran The United States men’s national team lost to Jamaica in the Gold Cup semifinals 2-1 on Wednesday night in Atlanta, eliminating the squad’s hopes of bringing home back-to-back titles in the tournament.

Tweet Kyle Bonn ATLANTA — The United States lost to Jamaica 2-1 on Wednesday night, crashing out of the 2015 Gold Cup in the semifinals. Everyone has thoughts about it. Everyone.

Tweet Neil W. Blackmon The United States tumbled out of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup Wednesday night in Atlanta, falling 2-1 to Jamaica. The match was the first loss for the Yanks to a Caribbean nation on home soil since 1968. It snapped a twenty-six game home unbeaten streak for the Americans, the longest in […]

Tweet Jon Levy and Neil W. Blackmon Before the United States thumped Cuba 6-0 in Baltimore Saturday afternoon, two things seemed clear. First, Cuba wasn’t a very good soccer team,weakened further by VISA issues and defections as the Gold Cup continued. Second, the US needed to play better. After the US win, Cuba’a lack of […]

Tweet Jon Levy It has been a strange Gold Cup. All three of the pre-tournament favorites: the United States, Mexico and World Cup quarterfinalist Costa Rica, could lodge complaints about their form and none appear to be runaway favorites heading into this weekend’s quarterfinals.

Tweet John D. Halloran In a performance that can’t be characterized as anything other than poor, the United States men’s national team limped to a 1-0 win over Haiti on Friday night in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The win, shockingly enough, also won Group A for the U.S.—with a game to spare—despite two relatively poor performances thus […]

Tweet Neil W. Blackmon and Jon Levy The Group is Won, but can the US play better? The US enter tonight’s final Gold Cup group stage match against Panama (9:30 ET, Fox Sports 1) knowing they’ve won the group. That’s often an incentive to experiment– and you should expect that tonight. Still, there are larger […]

Tweet Jon Levy The US began the 2015 Gold Cup with a grind-it-out win over an inspired Honduras, playing positive football in their first tournament setting fixture under manager Jorge Luis Pinto.
